Volunteer

Want to make a real difference in the lives of animals and your community? Join our dedicated volunteer team! Whether you have a few hours each week or can only help at special events, there’s a place for you. Volunteer roles include animal care, event support, community outreach, and more. Your time and energy help bring love and care to animals in need.

New volunteers are required to attend a training session before participating in shelter activities. Volunteer training begins in February and is offered on a recurring schedule throughout the year.

Training sessions are not held on federal holidays. In addition, training will pause annually from November 1–15 and throughout the month of December as part of our seasonal scheduling break.

We look forward to welcoming new volunteers and appreciate your understanding as we maintain a schedule that ensures high-quality, safe, and consistent training for everyone.

Become a Sponsor

Sponsorship is one of the most impactful ways you can support the mission of the Jackson Animal Care Center. Become a Kennel or Habitat Sponsor and help cover the full cost of care for the animals in that space. Your sponsorship ensures our animals receive food, shelter, enrichment, and medical care while they wait for their forever homes.

Sponsorships also allow us to direct event proceeds toward outreach, education, and medical services in underserved areas, extending your impact far beyond the shelter walls. As a thank-you, in addition to being able to attend annual invitation-only sponsors’ banquet, sponsors receive multiple opportunities for advertising, social media features, and community recognition.

Want to make a consistent difference? Become a monthly sponsor to help us plan ahead and provide steady care for the animals who need us most. Email our director for specifics and more information.

Fostering

Open your heart and home by becoming a foster. Some animals need a little extra time outside the shelter. Whether they’re recovering from medical treatment, too young for adoption, or just overwhelmed by the shelter environment, fostering helps these animals thrive while freeing up space for others in need. We’ll provide the supplies and support; you provide the love and care.

Fundraisers

Fundraisers are the heartbeat of Jackson Animal Care Center. These events not only bring our community together, they raise the critical funds that allow us to operate year-round. From supporting our low-cost spay and neuter program to covering medical care, supplies, and shelter improvements, every ticket sold and every dollar raised makes a direct impact.

Whether it’s a fun-filled community festival or an evening of themed elegance, our events help us continue our mission of protecting and uplifting Jackson’s animals. When you attend, donate, or sponsor a fundraiser, you’re helping us do more for those who need it most.
